As we previously reported, skateboarding legend Geoff Rowley has accepted the new sponsorship from fellow legend Ed Templeton as the new rider for the Toy Machine brand.
The 47-year-old recently announced on social media that he's grateful to Templeton, Deanna Templeton, and the entire Toy Machine team for welcoming him with open arms.
This move is a big deal for Rowley, as he's teaming up with one of the most iconic brands in skateboarding.
His connection with the Templetons goes way back to his early skating days, and it's not just about skateboarding; it's about shared interests in music, art, and meaningful conversations.
Rowley believes that skating with Ed always felt right. He's stoked to test his skills and discover new possibilities in skateboarding with a brand that totally vibes with his skateboarding style.
Rowley posted, "Thank you @ed.templeton @deannatempleton
@yerdone @mike_sinclair_ and the whole team for the kind welcome to @toymachine @tumyeto
I will do my best to drain this carcass of every last drop of blood in pursuit of gnar skateboard tricks for the machine.
PS. I have known Ed and Deanna since I was a wee nipper fresh off the boat from Liverpool England. I have always loved their company, friendship, taste in music, art, skating(Rollerskating for Deanna!), conversation and many more notable and positive attributes. Ed and myself were better skaters when skating together. I believe it. It always felt right. Riding for Toy Machine feels right.
